Silicon Invasion

“Uh, well, my mom…” Sun Gang had really gone overboard just now. If he suddenly changed his mind, people would definitely make wild guesses and overthink things.

And the direction of their guesses would definitely be unfavorable to him.

This was something Sun Gang couldn't quite accept.

And finding a proper reason that fit the current situation, under these preconditions, was really difficult.

Sun Gang was still pondering, but unfortunately, Luo Rui didn't continue to give him the opportunity.

“It’s okay, you can do your homework later, and there’s no rush to eat. Don’t worry, it’ll be quick,” Luo Rui patted his chest to guarantee. But what he said was true; if he went all out, with Sun Gang’s skill, he wouldn’t last too long.

“Uh…”

Sun Gang was a little flustered. The more confident Luo Rui looked, the more timid he became. He could still say that Luo Rui was a lucky player in this situation, and as long as he stuck to that point, he wouldn't lose.

But if Luo Rui wasn't a lucky player, and he was defeated by skill in the second round, then his face would be quite disgraced.

“Stop talking nonsense, let’s go.”

He was really too considerate. Sun Gang must have realized what it meant to have his wishes come true without any effort. Luo Rui silently gave himself a thumbs up.

Sun Gang was numb. Surrounded by the expectant gazes of his underlings, he was caught between advancing and retreating.

“Big Brother, you have to win! I just bet on you again.” The underlings made cheering gestures. Zhang Xiao’s betting pool wouldn’t be canceled due to accidents or anything, so besides Fatty betting on Luo Rui, and Song Hui betting on both sides to hedge their bets, everyone else suffered heavy losses…

Similarly, apart from Fatty and Song Hui, the others were somewhat unwilling to accept Sun Gang’s loss. This kind of defeat was too infuriating. Not only could Sun Gang not accept it, but neither could they.

Before, when Luo Rui didn’t agree to another match, they were making sarcastic remarks from the side, but Luo Rui seemed deaf to it, not affected in the slightest. Now, seeing Luo Rui suddenly agree to another round, they seemed to see the hope of a comeback.

Zhang Xiao accepted all these guys’ bets with a smile.

Seeing their appearance, Sun Gang swallowed hard, unable to say some things.

Luo Rui now had motivation, and his steps were much lighter, even humming an unknown tune.

But this brought even greater pressure to the already suspicious Sun Gang. But since things had come to this, he could only slowly shuffle to the locker room like a zombie.

Looking at this familiar scene, at this moment, Sun Gang wished he had a legendary time-stopper… Then he could do this first, then that, and finally win this match.

Unfortunately, he wasn't the protagonist, and this was a normal world without such unscientific things.

“Please select a mech.”

“Azure Bird.”

“Designated opponent has been connected for you, the battle is about to begin…”

Engage!

The two got into their mechs again, but their moods were different from before. Luo Rui went from unwilling to proactive, while Sun Gang went from full of confidence to suspicious.

For Luo Rui, fighting players in Sun Gang's rank really wasn't difficult, so he didn't need to bother entering a focused state at all. Because it would all be over in one round, even if he focused, he couldn't make any waves.

And things progressed exactly like that. The speed at which this battle ended exceeded everyone's expectations, including Uncle Niu, who had always believed Luo Rui was strong.

Although homing missiles are simple and convenient, they carry too few, are troublesome to reload, and are easily interfered with by heat decoys, so experts generally don't use them in duels.

The appearance of the attribute table meant that Luo Rui was destined to take the technical route. Plus, he hadn't played with long-range artillery for long, so his mech still used a combination of rocket missiles and recoilless rifles.

And their biggest advantage is that they don't need to specifically lock onto a target, and can still launch attacks by manually setting coordinates.

This colosseum-style map was nothing new. Luo Rui's memory had improved recently, plus the high-intensity practice over a period of time, he had long memorized every corner of it.

As soon as the mech walked out of the tunnel, and the sunlight just covered the metal body, Luo Rui's fingers flew up and down, making the keyboard rattle. Under his operation, the Azure Bird shifted sideways, and at the same time, the rocket launcher on its shoulder emitted thick smoke.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” Luo Rui didn't save any. The rockets were launched at full speed, and the rising smoke covered the upper half of the entire mech, even interfering with the operation of some optical observation systems.

But this did not affect Luo Rui's subsequent operations at all. A second later, the auxiliary intelligence searched for the target, and five rockets were already on their way, with more than a dozen waiting to be launched.

At this time, the auxiliary aiming system above Luo Rui's head had been lowered, allowing him to relax and calm down under no pressure.

“Boom!”

The shells pierced through the dense smoke and flew towards the distance, while the muzzle didn't stop, but continued to fire in an overloaded state.

This kind of shooting method is extremely damaging to the turret itself. If Luo Rui shot like this in reality, I'm afraid he wouldn't even finish half of the ammunition load before the barrel would explode and be scrapped.

“One trick?”

“Is Luo Rui looking down on my Brother Sun? He's actually using such a low-level tactic?”

“That's right, I can dodge this kind of noob-killing tactic, let alone Brother Sun.”

“Luo Rui is doomed to lose. After the rockets are fired, the barrel will explode soon. Does he think he can beat Brother Sun with two small daggers?”

“Haha, normal, a lucky player won't go far.”

Sun Gang's underlings were overjoyed when they saw this, and now they had hope of making a comeback.

But Uncle Niu and Cui Qiang shook their heads. The so-called one trick is a formulaic operation, memorizing a few coordinate points, and then going out at the start to bombard here wildly.

These operations are fixed. Players only need to constantly familiarize themselves with this series of operations, familiarize themselves again and again, and constantly squeeze the time to complete this process, reaching an extreme. In this fixed battlefield environment, it is still quite useful.

Of course, even if these players score high, they can't be considered experts, because any element change can knock them back to their original form.

And players who can normally reach two thousand points have experienced this kind of formulaic torment, and have more or less learned some coping methods that suit them, and it is already difficult to be targeted by this trick.

However, Luo Rui's operation looks very similar to one trick on the surface, but it is actually completely different.

One trick is a rigid routine, while Luo Rui is responding in an instant through super-fast reactions. Therefore, routines can be used to find fixed bugs, but Luo Rui's doesn't have any.
